Mother

lyrics

You answer me with silence
You answer with dismissal of my questions
You speak by leaving the room

You won’t hear my frustration
You only see the clutter in the kitchen
And the rising damp coming through

Mother don’t make me feel I’ve no support
‘Cause I need your love, I need to be a son

Reach out

While half of me went missing
You were in the company of television
Sipping your camomile
Hazy on a California film set
And though you heard me sighing
You had to cook a meal and do the shopping
And hang the clothes on the line

Mother I know I have to help myself
But I need you there at those times that I can’t

Reach out

You kept at such a distance
Private and forthcoming with reluctance
Holidays falling short
Arguments in such a heated climate
I heard the old man laughing
You were standing in the hallway cursing
This residence far from home

*****

I crawled under a dream
You stood there immortal
Majestic
A halo provided by the moonlight
Cast a show of strength
Over a shadow of a doubt
